Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Saint Louis, MO covered by Cigna

I am a Christian counselor. I like to watch the Lord transform lives and bring order to the chaos in our lives. I am a grief specialist. I've been helping people walk through grief for almost 15 years. It's not 'goodbye' forever, it's just 'goodbye' for now. There is peace in knowing Jesus and that faith brings comfort in all types of struggle.

I work with Clients who may be struggling with anxiety, OCD and issues related to school, relationships or family. I am trained in SPACE therapy which teaches parents how to provide support to their children so that they can be successful in controlling their own emotions.

I believe that everyone is worthy of love and belonging and we all have a story to tell. I use my education and background to help you process past trauma, current confusion, and relational dynamics so you can experience true healing and flourishing. If you feel stuck in the same patterns or bogged down by shame, I'm so glad you're here, and I would be honored to walk with you through the darkness to a place of light and life!

Hi, I’m KaMara, affectionately known as “KK.” I support children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, identity awareness, relationship concerns, work-life balance, and life transitions. After nearly two decades in healthcare operations, I expanded my work to mental and emotional well-being, drawing on personal and professional experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. I’m dedicated to helping you heal, feel, and recover.

​

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Fisk University, a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration from The University of Kentucky, and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Kansas, Alaska, Missiouri, and Oregon, and Career and Relationship Coach in the state of Indiana. I also have a certification in Child and Adolescent therapy. My scope of practice includes: Anxiety, Bullying/School Stressors, Career & Couples Coaching, Conflict Management, Depression, Domestic Violence, Eating Disorders, Grief/Loss, Identity Awareness, Spiritual Exploration, Suicide Prevention, Trauma, & Work/Life Balance. I specialize in mindfulness, career and life coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, child and adolescent therapy, and play therapy.

Sometimes life changes in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, the transition into parenthood, or the emotional demands of caring for others, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything together. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 20 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and rediscover hope during life's most difficult seasons. Working with children, adolescents, and adults, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move toward lasting healing.

I care about real connection, steady progress, and creating a space where you can show up as yourself. I’ve spent years helping people sort through heavy thoughts, navigate big life changes, and rebuild a sense of direction. I won't rush you or force you into a mold, I help you understand what matters to you and take the steps to move towards it. I'm happy to be the calm, steady guide who will walk alongside you.
